Seniority Blues

Times they are so much a-changing as Dylan proposed Bob and not Dylan who was a genius but also a drunkard When black seems white and white appears black grey silver hair is reaching its tune and completion Tim is told he needs a new quartet Time Place Reason and Feeling And yet he sings the Seniority Blues Age is surely no achievement and youth no transgression but the pendulum has swung dialectics require constant change Surely he needs to hand over the baton Baton Rouge? Baton Royal Marine? Beating retreat? Why should he go with the proverbial times when the times refuse to go with him? Tim prefers intuition over merely following the crowd 03rd October2018 Reference to: Bob Dylan 'The times they are a-changing'. Dylan Thomas, the Welsh writer. Baton Rouge in Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose, ('Me and Bobby Mac Gee' written by Kris Kristofferson but more convincingly sung by Janis Joplin).

Your lines pack a punch, Enough to get our attention. I think we should enjoy the music, Before we fade into the background. Best regards David in NZ
